The next fruited sour from Yellowbelly showcases the magnificent Wexford delicacy, strawberries. Our house Berliner Weisse malt bill was mashed as usual, kettle soured with lactobacillus, fermented and conditioned on an absolute hape of strawberry (7kg per hl for those inclined). The resulting beer sees the usually associated mouth puckering acidity balanced out by the fruits sweetness. Lashings of fruit on the nose, on the tongue and on the finish.

Can shared at Chris and Ruth Pre-GBBF 2017 tasting - London. Cheers! Pours cloudy gold with a creamy, white topping. The nose holds dough, butter, hay. Medium sweet with more hay, dough, pale grains. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Vague fruity notes in the finish. Not great.

Can at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours hazy pink/ blush with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, rose, red berry (more raspberry and cherry than strawberry!) and some sherbet. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, sweet - sour, sherbet, sour candy, red berry, rhubarb, bright acidity and floral notes. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Bright, tart and rather quaffable. Decent sour.

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth dry floral into tangy lemon and orange that also tastes ripe and tired. Light finish. Odd.

Bottle shared at Chriso’s and Ruth pre GBBF shindig, August 5, 2017. White pinkish pour. Grainy wheat nose, some fruit thing going on, pleasant. Taste is grainy and sourish, lots of wheat there. Tart wheat finish. Did I mention it was wheaty? Overall still nice beer, I guess it’s not that easy to bring out the subtle flavours of strawberries, so wheat is murdering this a bit.
